Experimental design and statistical analysis in fMRI research. Linear and nonlinear models of the hemodynamic response function, the general linear model in fMRI analysis, post hoc testing, group testing with the random effects model, and connectivity analysis.

Examination of the neurological basis of cognition with material drawn fromresearch in psychology, neurology and the neurosciences with brain injured and healthy human and non-human subjects. Topics include memory, language, and perception.

Analysis and design of nonlinear control systems. Focus on Lyapunov stability theory, with sufficient time devoted to contrasts between linear and nonlinear systems, input-output stability and the describing function method.
